Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ever since he made his first portraits at the age of sixteen, David Hockney has been fascinated by people - 'the human clay', as W. H. Auden put it - and how they have been represented throughout the history of art. As much as any other artist in recent years he has embraced, invigorated and often subverted traditional portraiture, making it a central concern of his art.Through a careful selection of works both iconic and previously unpublished, this book explores the many ways in which Hockney has depicted the people around him, be they famous names such as Andy Warhol, Christopher Isherwood and W. H. Auden or lifelong friends such as Henry Geldzahler and Celia Birtwell, among many others. It tells the story of the artist's relationships with family, friends and lovers, illustrated by works ranging from the intimate and frequently moving studies of his parents and partners to his very recent large-scale double portraits in watercolour.Revealing and always touching, Hockney's Portraits and People is both a unique record of the life and loves of one of the world's best known artists, and a valuable glimpse of the moment when life and art meet. Explores different formal ways of representing the passage of time and at the same time the unavoidable but marvellous stillness of portraits.

Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -An utterly compelling rogues' gallery of the famous, the infamous and the anonymous The Spectator Attractive and entertaining . Hockney's gifts (close observation and an elegantly expressive line) have always been evident in his portraits Sunday Times An elegant framework for an account of a life which is also a study and a celebration of that life's work . virtually every page turned is another encounter with Hockney's distinctively expressive sense of line and colour Times Literary Supplement A Thames & Hudson treat Vogue David Hockney's continuing belief in the importance of the portrait and his virtuoso skill in creating a sense of close communication between artist, sitter and viewer has resulted in some of the best-loved works of the postwar era. From the 1950s on, Hockney's most persistent subject matter, in paintings, drawings, collages and photoworks, has been of people usually very close to him, as well as of himself. These works are narratives of autobiographical relationships: they reflect the intimate and often intense stories of this artist's life. They also explore different formal ways of representing the passage of time and at the same time the unavoidable but marvellous stillness of portraits. The works include fascinating sequences as he paints his mother or Henry Geldzahler or Celia Birtwell on and off for decades; the special qualities attached to depictions of lovers; and the range of celebrities, writers and artists - Billy Wilder, Armistead Maupin, W.H. Auden, Henry Moore, Christopher Isherwood - who have been part of a very full life. The text by a distinguished European critic and curator reinforces the point that this hugely popular English-born artist, who made America his second home, has become a figure of worldwide appeal. 240 pp. Deutsch.
